I actually been throwing the idea around in my head of creating a meetup on meetup.com for Houston Area Sleevers....I'm already an organizer of a social group on there....but yes I dont mind chatting, or meetup up for lunch or something to talk! It would be the start of a great support team!

I was going to check meetup if I didn't find anyone here....I need additional support because my family isn't at all! I think even if we met once a month for coffee or dinner or a game night or something then that would be amazing. My surgery is scheduled on 3/1 but I want to build connections before hand...

Ok, cool beans! I understand the whole lack of family support....my family hasn't come out and said, NO! we are not going to support you! But everytime we have get togethers people ask me, are you sure you want to do this??which can also be frustrating...

There is already a houston sleevers group here on VST. It might be a good idea to go ahead and use what is here...the more we create groups the more I fear we lose people do to saturation of resources...just an opinion.

I was thinking about going something along the lines of activity days rather than a restaraunt. Like putt-putt or paintball or lasertag, or a guided nature walk or something like that...ghost tours, sandcastle contest in Galveston, anything really.

OMG! My sister got me an Xbox with kinect for christmas, and as soon as we get the redecorating done I an going to install it. This is so much fun! It is like Wii but nothing to hold and it is very accurate. I already do yoga and it is very fun with it, did boxing and kick boxing too! Dance off to The Black Eyed peas was great! I almost ripped out my stitches, but it was fun! I could have a kinect party!

I would love to start a group. I live in NW Houston. Just an FYI, I have been part of the Houston area group for awhile and we have never meet or made any plans to.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
